Well, we did it! We are going home!


Oh man, the pictures were uploaded the newest to the oldest again. You are going to see them in the wrong order.  

This was our final dinner in Hawaii. Lava lava beach club. Great place right besides the beach! Pricy tho lol 



















We left the Camp BE hive! (That’s the name of Chris’s cabin). It provided us a great housing for a month, totally eye opening for new life style. We will miss that house! 










Shaka!
















We had lunch at L&L in Kea’au shopping center



Yeah Meg caught another lizard

I don’t think he’s happy 

Last laundry! We had to wash all the linens & towels we used

We came to Hilo to rent a car. Airports in Hawaii don’t have walls. 



Tossing final trash

So we woke up mid night with heavy rain! We thought the whole island could be flooded! 


Oohh ok, the order of the photos are in order now! So, we returned our rental car at Kona airport. Meg is super tired, most likely from playing tag with her full energy with other kids at beach restaurant lol


Taking shuttle to the terminal


And the bigger suitcase we have had 4 pounds more than we supposed to (it was 54lbs). We were told to re-pack and put the 4 pounds somewhere else. We took our underwears and one of the medicine bags and moved them to backpack, and we hit 49.8 pound total. That was easy!





We are ready for boarding. Probably next blog will be from Denver!

Another local beach & night volcano

Image
Meg and John went to jogging in the morning around the neighbors. They ended almost 2 miles in jungle gravel or muddy road in mist. They found so many cool natures including old fallen lava tube. I wonder Meg might be interested in field type sports? Bo still had fever and in bed. Not much appetite but just kept sleeping. We’ve been checking his temperature and hydrating him, but let him sleep. Since he was a baby, that’s how he recovers: just sleep. We got his meds ready but temp was not high enough so we decided to let his body fight with his heat. We’re ready to give him fever meds if fever gets too high. So since this house got so quiet and Meg doesn’t have a playmate, I took her out to the different local beach. Carlsmith Beach Park . It has very small parking but we got lucky to be able to find a spot where someone was just ready to leave. Just like Onekahakaha Beach from yesterday, this beach also doesn’t have a sand to lay down or play to make a sand castle. Onekahakaha at leas...

Our journey has been started

Image
 We woke up around 4:30am zzzz and got ready. Everything had been ready last night, including online check in & payment for the bags, so all we had to do was changing clothes. I had sensitive belly yesterday and this morning. Probably from too much excitement?  We got an uber to the airport. The driver was used to be a truck driver and she had some fun stories. Like a story of the passenger she had one time. She picked up this drunk guy at downtown Nashville, and he opened the door to get out while she’s still driving because he was not feeling good. Yikes.  We got to the airport without any traffic, bag drop off was easy, security was easy (we have TSA pre check), and we got to the gate 80mins before the boarding.  Our first 3 hours flight won’t have any food service (unless we pay a lot for it), so I prepared a snack/meal bag previously packed for each of us. It’ll keep us fill for this trip. Our second flight from Denver for 7hrs should have some food.  J...

Parents left and Back to the Big Island

Image
  Well, so today is the last day with my family. I woke up around 4 AM as usual, wrote the previous blog. Suitcases were mostly packed. Everybody’s changes were out, so all they needed to do after waking up would be get dressed & pack pjs.   Before left, Ayako told me that there’s a purse she was interested in, but didn’t have a chance to grab it, so I decide to get it for her. After all, she left some US dollar with us saying we can use them to buy some stuff. The place she wanted the purse from is called Dean & Deluca , known as an awesome bakery and café with fancy other items for sale. Super popular for Japanese people for souvenirs that some of them has the store & Hawaii name on it. Since it’s a bakery, I decided to grab breakfast for all of us. Goodness it was a great decision! Super delicious baked goods! I got some sweet & savory foods and coffee too, and visited parents room  to let them pick first. They got egg sandwich and ham&egg croissant...
